Zanzibar
The Jewel of the Indian Ocean!
There is no better way to end your safari than by spending a few days relaxing on the pristine beaches of the exotic Zanzibar Island. Zanzibar is famous for its tropical character. Zanzibar’s coastline consists mainly of white sandy beaches and clear blue water. Stroll through the cobbled alleyways of the historic Stone town and as you pass by one of the many palace ruins and Persian baths it is impossible not to be captivated by the strong Arabian influence and the romanticism of the Island.
Pemba
Zanzibar’s Untouched Paradise!
Pemba Island, Zanzibar’s lesser-known sister, is a haven of tranquility and natural beauty. Its untouched beaches, lush mangroves, and vibrant coral reefs make it perfect for relaxation or adventure. Dive into the crystal-clear waters to discover some of the richest marine life in East Africa, or explore the spice farms and forests that give Pemba its distinct charm. With fewer tourists than Zanzibar, Pemba offers a serene escape where you can immerse yourself in nature and experience the true essence of island life.
Mafia
A Hidden Tropical Retreat
Mafia Island, an unspoiled treasure off the Tanzanian coast, offers a quiet escape from the hustle of more popular destinations. Its crystal-clear waters are home to diverse marine life, making it a paradise for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Explore the stunning coral reefs of Mafia Island Marine Park, swim with whale sharks, or relax on secluded beaches. With its charming villages and rich history, Mafia Island provides a peaceful, authentic experience for those seeking a true connection with nature and island life.
